blogging about TV
So much to blog about, so little time. First, the quickest of updates on recent telly watching. Eli Stone on Sci-Fi was disappointing. Yes, it has Johnny Lee Miller and George Michael in it, two of the sexiest men in the world. (What do you mean, one of them’s gay? Like we would be riding [...]
I can tell anyone eagerly awaiting the first episode of Little Britain USA, tonight on BBC 1 at 9.30 just after Harry and Paul, that it really isn’t that funny. But stay tuned, because the the second one’s a lot funnier than the first. You’ll just have to wait until next Friday to see if [...]
So I was one of the 264,000 people watching Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food on Channel 4 +1 last night, after Mutual Friends on BBC 1 clashed with both Jamie and Griff Rhys Jones Losing It on BBC 2. I told you there was lots of great TV on in the autumn. Thank god for [...]
And now for some breaking news… a first for lucecannon.com.
Shaun the Sheep, the latest fantastic animation from Wallace and Gromit makers Aardman, is to return to CBBC for a second 40-part series some time next year, when it’s been made (and these stop-frame animations take a LONG time to make). The amazing thing, to me, [...]
Review of C4’s fly-on-the-wall documentary The Family
With you, the viewer, in mind executives from the main TV channels have been watching a lot of new American programming in darkened rooms recently, as the big US studios including Fox, Warner Bros and the like have brought sample episodes of their new autumn programming to London to show off.
British TV execs traditionally get a [...]

The commercial arm of the BBC, BBC Worldwide, is to take a minority stake in Baby Cow Productions, Steve Coogan’s company which makes Gavin & Stacey, Mighty Boosh and Coogan’s own Saxondale.
Why is [...]
Channel 4 has been accused of peddling filth again. But this time, it’s a pre-watershed sex education show that’s making a stir.
Ofcom received “scores” of complaints after C4 aired the first in a six-part series of The Sex Education Show last Tuesday. The show, which contains nudity and explicit talk about sex, went out at [...]
‘Let Them Eat Cake’ TV is a label which my partner - who is much, much cleverer than me but also infinitely more lazy, so he’s unlikely to ever organise his own blog and will therefore have to get the credit for his various insights vicariously, as with everything else, through me - he came up [...]
Just a very quick observation on ep two of ITV 1’s Lost in Austen which aired last night. It’s actually, in my humble opinion, not very good.
It look sumptuous and ticks all the right costume drama boxes and Amanda Price, Jemima Rooper’s character, looks suitably out of place in all the Regency action and finery. [...]
